My sources included the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS), Lewis and Clark Law School, an article from We the People, Jury Nullification article, and then cited his bio off of USD and I used it to verify all of his academic credentials, but its actually the least significant, so deleting those citations would be very replaceable simply by finding his credentials elsewhere online. PBS has little bias and verifies his historical significance as well as the Jury nullification article, and We the People article. His academic significance is represented from the two law school bios. I was going to add his books to the page, but I'm afraid it will just be deleted. I feel like Native American people of notoriety are very rarely are given their due diligence, so I'm not surprised at that this article is trying to be brought down. I'm new to Wikipedia, so I'm not sure if this is a stringent system or the age-old academic bias towards native cultures.Nativecultnlaw (talk) 16:33, 1 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Just stringency. When I see 5 new editors all related to the same school making edits on pages related to that school, it makes me cautious. EvergreenFir (talk) 20:46, 1 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

With good reason. --NeilN ^{talk to me} 21:04, 1 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you NeilN. Wonder if that IP user was one of them as well. EvergreenFir (talk) 21:23, 1 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello - I have also been working on publishing this article for over a year. I added information from the article I have been working on to this wiki post along with an image in the hopes that it will finally be accepted for publication. I have been through the ringer with reviewers giving me conflicting information for changes and several denials. This has been a very frustrating process - I would be very excited if a wiki person would just offer some straight forward help to complete the entry.

(talk I have added new citations and contributed more information as well as a photograph of Mr. Pommersheim. Please review it again https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Pommersheim - I am aiming for publication without the worry of it being deleted. My research was done independently of USD & the subject is notable on many levels. Thank you for your time.
